    I found it funny, square enix it's against the tools for parse, but they add the dummies so people practice rotations and check the dps, but how do we really know the dps we do if we can't ever see the results.
    Can't add a feature to see how much damage are you doing compared to your gear on that dummies?

    If every boss fight was tank n spank you would have an argument.

    We do have an arguement. You just want to limit the options people have to learn how to play the game better. The only way that seems to be ok for you is to force them into end game and to let them fail over and over until somehow they figure it out. There are zero merits to providing no other methods to help people practice the techniques required for late game content. You're just forcing people to do it one way. The way you want.

    You're hellbent on opposing the notion of any form of a DPS parser, we get it.
    He has an argument. Once DPS is calculated, you can simply substract based on how long you stay away from the target, due to dodging red zones, or whatever other silly mechanics the boss may throw at you.
    This is commonly calculated by the average DPS meters found in other games and the existing ones for this game, as well.

    And before you you jump in and start nonsense about how dodging is more important than your damage dealt: Enrage mechanics.
    Sometimes it's better to eat damage to max your entire group's output.
    Again, another common sense tactic.
